Born and raised in Southwest Florida, Halle always felt a deep connection with the outdoors through angling, diving, and hiking. A 2018 graduate of Florida State University, she has since built a dynamic career in Florida’s conservation sector. She laid the groundwork to revitalize the Florida Trail Association’s Gateway Community Program, where she created and fostered partnerships with communities and local businesses along the Florida National Scenic Trail. She then went on to gain regulatory experience with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and later led impactful initiatives at Audubon Florida, where she advanced key projects and helped expand the state’s network of climate advocates. For Halle, Live Wildly means encouraging others to immerse themselves in Florida’s unique landscapes and welcoming new opportunities with open arms.
